Micro-X has delivered CT images taken by its Head CT test bench showing the skull and soft tissue structure of the brain of an anthropomorphic head phantom. Clinical leads at the Australian Stroke Alliance (ASA) determined that the images show detail of the sulci, ventricles and vascular anatomy in the supratentorial compartment. Micro-X says this marks […]

Medica Reporting Limited uses the qER tool from Qure.ai for detection and prioritisation of acute intracranial haemorrhage. We have previously demonstrated a faster turnaround (reduction of 80 seconds cf baseline) for these scans with life-threatening bleeds that will dictate modification to potential stroke thrombolysis pathways. Now a longitudinal audit of the qER tool in an […]

Canon Medical’s Automation Platform utilises deep learning technology to provide valuable clinical applications in a zero-click workflow. These technologies process and deliver images for accurate triage, worklist prioritisation and treatment decisions, streamlining workflows by automating post processing of images directly from the scanner and automatically exporting results in a format ready for interpretation by the […]

A new stroke triage tool powered by AI is now available in the UK. AUTOStroke from Canon Medical analyses and categorises diagnostic brain images automatically following a CT scan to detect signs of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in 30 seconds. The imaging tool integrates a comprehensive set of stroke applications including: Non-contrast CT Intracranial Haemorrhage […]

The first Siemens Healthineers Magnetom Prisma 3.0T MRI system in Ireland has been installed to support researchers at Trinity College Dublin in a series of neuroscience projects including research into brain development, Alzheimer’s and autism. The equipment will expand neuroscience research capabilities at the university in the FOUNDCOG infant imaging project, one of three projects […]

As 24/7 imaging activity rises in volume and complexity and the workforce deficit grows teleradiology management of the acutely unwell patient has become increasingly important. The concept is not new: GMC registered reporters with home workstations, potentially anywhere in the world, interacting seamlessly with client RIS systems. Faster data transfer, strict information governance protocols and […]

The Radiological Research Trust (RRT) has awarded a grant to enable research into the use of neuroradiology techniques in COVID-19 diagnosis. In September last year, a team led by Dr Tom Booth, senior lecturer in neuroradiology and consultant at King’s College London and neuroradiologist at King’s College Hospital (KCH), identified a biomarker that could identify […]

The MRgFUS (MR-guided focused ultrasound) team at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is led by principal investigator Professor Wladyslaw Gedroyc, who has been working with the technique for more than 20 years. A team including consultant neuroradiologist Brynmor Jones, MRgFUS clinical research fellow Dr Ayesha Jameel, consultant neurologist Dr Peter Bain and consultant neurosurgeon Professor […]
